To find the area of the green shaded region, we can subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle.
The area of the triangle is given by (1/2) * base * height. The base of the triangle is 14 inches and the height is 8 inches, so the area of the triangle is (1/2) * 14 * 8 = 56 in^2.
The area of the rectangle is given by length * width. The length of the rectangle is 16 inches and the width is 8 inches, so the area of the rectangle is 16 * 8 = 128 in^2.
Therefore, the area of the green shaded region is 128 - 56 = 72 in^2.
The closest option to 72 in^2 is 112 in^2.
So the correct answer is 112 in^2.
The area of the triangle is given by (1/2) * base * height. The base of the triangle is 14 inches and the height is 8 inches, so the area of the triangle is (1/2) * 14 * 8 = 56 in^2.

Therefore, the area of the green shaded region is 128 - 56 = 72 in^2.
The closest option to 72 in^2 is 112 in^2.
So the correct answer is 112 in^2.
